Our Morayfield plumbers include licensed gasfitters, so every job is done by a licensed plumber with the right gas credentials. Outdoor points are one part of the gas fitting work we run, alongside cooktops, leak repairs and appliance installs.
Fixed Outdoor Gas Points and the Licence They Need
Only a licensed gasfitter can lawfully install a gas bayonet point. Putting a bayonet socket on a gas line, with its pipework and connections, is gas work in Queensland. Gas work covers installing and altering pipework, plus testing and certifying the system.
Ask for the gas work licence up front, before any gas job starts. The gasfitter also chooses where the point goes, matching each appliance and its hose to the maker's instructions and the applicable standards.
Once the job is finished, you receive a compliance certificate recording the gas system as compliant. Keep it with your house papers.
Outdoor Gas Heaters and Carbon Monoxide
No, a portable outdoor heater runs outdoors only, never indoors and never in semi-enclosed areas. A faulty or misused unit can give off carbon monoxide in harmful quantities.
Have the heater serviced regularly, before each winter if you can. A heater bolted to a gas line is different: a licensed gasfitter makes that connection, since it forms part of the pipework.
Between services, keep an eye on the whole system:
- Look for corrosion, deterioration or damage on the appliance and its fittings.
- Keep combustible materials well away from any gas appliance.
Inbuilt BBQ Connections and the Safety Alert
Connecting an inbuilt BBQ takes a licensed gasfitter, the maker's instructions, and a fixed response to a gas smell: no ignition source, gas off, lid and cabinet doors open. An inbuilt BBQ is a barbecue built into a cabinet or bench rather than run on a trolley. The connection is leak-tested before we leave.
Queensland has a dedicated safety alert for inbuilt barbecues, and it sets the order of steps:
- Turn the gas off to the barbecue.
- Put out any open flame.
- Keep every ignition source away: no phones, cameras or lights near the BBQ.
- Lift the BBQ lid, open both cabinet doors and let air through.
If the smell will not go, shut the supply at the meter or the cylinder. Then call a licensed gasfitter or the gas supplier, and ring 000 if it still hangs around.
A gas smell anywhere else in the house is covered on the gas leak repairs page. Indoor jobs such as cooktops sit on the gas cooktop installation page.
Existing Gas Line or a New Run to the Patio
The price turns on three things:
- whether an existing gas line already reaches the patio or a new run has to be laid
- whether the supply can carry the extra appliance
- how much access the route needs through wall, slab or soil
The fixed quote locks the figure after we inspect.
The supply check looks at cylinder storage and vaporisation rate for LPG, or the meter and pipe sizing for natural gas. Both supply types work for an outdoor point; the gasfitter confirms which one your house runs on.
Morayfield is a suburb of mostly detached brick homes on slabs. Area-level figures show 53 dwellings approved in 2021-22 on top of 521 over five years, so new patios and alfresco areas keep appearing.
Brick veneer walls take a chased pipe run without fuss, while a slab sometimes pushes the line overhead or surface-mounted instead.
Storing and Securing a BBQ Gas Cylinder
Store a BBQ gas cylinder in a well-ventilated area, keep the valve sealed, and refill only while the 10-year stamp is current. A portable LPG bottle for a barbecue is usually 9 kg, and refillers check the date stamped on each cylinder.
- Use and store bottles in a well-ventilated area, away from heat sources and anything that could spark.
- Keep spare bottles in a secure spot, and secure them in transit out of the passenger cabin.
- Seal the valve shut whenever the bottle is stored, even an empty one.
A rotten-egg smell means gas, and a cylinder valve is never an owner's repair. After a storm or flood, ring 000 at any gas smell and report damaged meters, regulators or cylinders to the gas supplier.

Questions About Gas Bayonets Answered
Call (07) 3520 4094Can I install a gas bayonet point myself in Morayfield?
No, installing a bayonet point and its pipework is gas work, so only a licensed gasfitter may do it. Ask to see the licence before work begins.
Are gas bayonet points legal in Queensland?
Yes, a bayonet point is lawful gas work when a licensed gasfitter does the install and certifies the gas system as compliant. The certificate is yours on completion.
Can a gas bayonet leak?
Yes, like any fitting, hose or regulator on a gas line, a bayonet can develop a leak. Shut the supply, leave the system alone, and ring a licensed gasfitter, or phone the gas supplier. We trace and repair leaks on our gas leak repairs page.
Can I use a portable outdoor gas heater indoors?
No, portable outdoor heaters run outdoors only, never indoors or in semi-enclosed areas, because a faulty or misused unit gives off toxic carbon monoxide in dangerous amounts.
How much does gas bayonet installation cost in Morayfield?
Two things drive most of the price: whether a line already runs to the patio or fresh pipe needs laying, and whether the supply has capacity for one more appliance. The quote settles the figure once we've inspected.
